Wind deflector from newer Benz
« on: June 19, 2012, 11:58:52 »
I saw an inexpensive used wind deflector on eBay for a w129.  Anyone know if a newer wind deflector from a W129 or a W107 would fit?  No time to make one, but don't mind saving some money.

Naaah..., :o ;)

Never tried it myself but should not be possible.
The former German SL Club Pagode president initiated at around 1991 a production series of the wind deflector for the W113 chassis together with MB.
This was made (I believe) by ORIS who also made/make the original factory wind deflector of the R129.
_IF_ the 129 WD fitted it would be a stupid idea to make "a special one" then for the 113 as well  ??? :o ???.

The original W113 wind deflector is still available from the factory, its part number is 113 860 0074 ..., however ..., it's a bit pricey lately.
There are other reproductions on the market, just google around a bit.
I "believe" K&K and Bud's Benz can supply suitable reproductions as well.
Certainly SLS in Hamburg, Germany can, as can the SL Club Pagode who offer one for €€185,00 or so.
